Abstract
Introduction: Harnessing power from the wind is one of the cleanest and most sustainable ways to generate electricity as it produces no toxic pollution or global warming emissions. Despite its vast potential, there are a variety of environmental impacts associated with wind power generation that should be recognized and mitigated. Environmental Impact assessment (EIA) is a tool for decision-makers to identify potential environmental impacts of proposed projects, to evaluate alternative approaches, and to design and incorporate appropriate prevention, mitigation, management and monitoring measures. Aim of the work: the study aim at assessing the environmental impact of the project of wind energy power plant, Gabal El Zeet, Suez Gulf , in Egypt. Material and Method: Environmental assessment of wind direction and intensity, turbine power, noise, electromagnetic waves and vibration is performed. Results and Discussion: the study documents the environmental impact parameters including noise, electromagnetic interference, vibration and bird migration. Recommendations: the suggested method of mitigation is provided to local authorities to be taken into consideration for the wind energy power plant, Gabal El Zeet.
